Elijah Johns and Javier Garcia will determine the fate of the vacant Legacy Fighting Alliance featherweight championship when they lock horns in the LFA 163 main event on Friday at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, Texas. The promotion’s 145-pound throne was left empty when former titleholder Gabriel Santos signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

LFA 159 “Johns vs. Garcia”—which streams to UFC Fight Pass at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT—also features a co-headliner between Will Starks and Johnny Hopper at 155 pounds, a featherweight showcase matching Landy Ward with Matheus Pereira Morais, a lightweight affair pitting Angel Alvarez against Milko Tutco, a flyweight scrap pairing Kevin Fernandez with Javier Cepeda and a light heavyweight clash slotting Kyler Fairchild opposite Alik Lorenz.
